Doe Fund’s Villa House Wins QBBA’s Excellence Award

The Doe Fund‘s Villa House residence won the Excellence in Residential Apartment Buildings Award from the Queens & Bronx Building Association. With more than 300 member companies, the QBBA has been one of New York City’s leading construction-related trade organizations since 1967.  

Villa House, located at 3188 Villa Ave. in the Bedford Park/Special Grand Concourse District of the Bronx, is home to more than 68 residents. Originally opened in 2020, Villa House was designed by DeLaCour Ferrara & Church Architects and the building contractor was Mega Contracting Group, LLC. 

Sixty percent of the 10-story building’s units are reserved for formerly homeless individuals, while the remaining 40% are occupied by individuals and households formerly on the New York City Housing Authority waitlist. 

“The Villa Avenue project is a testament to The Doe Fund’s commitment to affordable and supportive housing,” said George Poulon, president of the QBBA.
